SLPP calls for boycotting of LIOC

21 May 2020

The ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has called for a boycott of Lanka Indian Oil Company (LIOC) fuel stations following its decision to increase fuel prices. SLPP member and former MP Dilan Perera has told a news briefing that if the LIOC was adamant on increasing prices despite a drop in global oil prices, the Government’s first step to control this would be to call on the public to avoid LIOC fuel sheds. “President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and all those in his Government call on the 6.9 million people who voted for him to boycott LIOC petrol sheds as they are disregarding the Government’s instructions using legal loopholes,” Perera has said. The LIOC earlier this week revised the price of a litre of 92 octane petrol by increasing it by Rs. 5 per litre. However, the LIOC’s diesel price is on par with the CPC.
